In the catacombs you find one of the major Danish heroes - Holger Danske, or Ogier the Dane, mentioned in chapter 24 of "Legends Of Charlemagne" or "Romance Of The Middle Ages" by Thomas Bulfinch. The statue was created by H. P. Pedersen-Dan in 1907. According to the legend, he was a mercenary at the court of the Franco-Roman emperor Charles, or Charlemagne, in the 8th. century. The legend has it that he never lost a battle in his life. However, he got increasingly homesick, and finally decided to walk from the South of France and Emperor Charles' court, back to Denmark - which he did.

Upon arrival at Kronborg (or what was there before 1420) he sat down and immediately fell asleep, and still sleeps today. According to the legend, if Denmark at some point in time should have its sovereignty threatened, Holger will once more awake and do battle for Denmark! The fact that he sits in what was the stables during the period when the garrison of Kronborg was operative doesn't seem to have bothered neither horses nor Holger Danske. On the lighter side, he's not many meters away from the brewery that supplied the 8 liters (app. 2 gallons) of beer per day, each soldier was entitled to.

He obviously didn't think that Denmark was in that much trouble.

Britain's pretty well of if ever she's threatened with defeat. According to legend Sir Francis Drake will come along to defeat them before they land and if they do then they have to fight King Arthur.

Bring it on. 8)
